| [00:05.83] | He said, “Son, |
| [00:07.83] | Have you see the world? |
| [00:10.86] | Well, what would you say |
| [00:13.68] | If I said that you could? |
| [00:17.00] | Just carry this gun |
| [00:19.89] | and you’ll even get paid.” |
| [00:22.83] | I said, “That sounds pretty good.” |
| [00:28.17] | |
| [00:29.62] | Black leather boots |
| [00:32.70] | Spit-shined so bright |
| [00:35.88] | They cut off my hair but it looked alright |
| [00:42.09] | We marched and we sang |
| [00:44.81] | We all became friends |
| [00:47.94] | As we learned how to fight |
| [00:51.44] | |
| [00:54.53] | A hero of war |
| [00:57.17] | Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [01:00.38] | And when I come home |
| [01:03.33] | They’ll be damn proud of me |
| [01:06.74] | I’ll carry this flag |
| [01:09.43] | To the grave if I must |
| [01:12.79] | Because it’s flag that I love |
| [01:15.81] | And a flag that I trust |
| [01:19.70] | I kicked in the door |
| [01:22.33] | I yelled my commands |
| [01:25.39] | The children, they cried |
| [01:28.54] | But I got my man |
| [01:31.84] | We took him away |
| [01:34.68] | A beg over his face |
| [01:37.81] | From his family and his friends |
| [01:42.90] | |
| [01:44.37] | They took off his clothes |
| [01:47.19] | They pissed in his hands |
| [01:50.25] | I told them to stop |
| [01:53.41] | But then I joined in |
| [01:56.87] | We beat him with guns |
| [01:59.61] | And batons not just once |
| [02:02.70] | But again and again |
| [02:06.70] | |
| [02:09.09] | A hero of war |
| [02:11.83] | Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [02:15.16] | And when I come home |
| [02:18.16] | They’ll be damn proud of me |

| [02:46.51] | I asked her to stop |
| [02:49.54] | I begged her to stay |
| [02:52.59] | But she pressed on |
| [02:55.65] | So I lifted my gun |
| [02:58.64] | And I fired away |
| [03:04.29] | |
| [03:06.67] | And The shells jumped through the smoke |
| [03:11.38] | And into the sand |
| [03:14.13] | That the blood now had soaked |
| [03:18.04] | |
| [03:18.80] | She collapsed with a flag in her hand |
| [03:23.67] | A flag white as snow |
| [03:29.39] | |
| [03:30.02] | A hero of war |
| [03:32.65] | Is that what they seen |
| [03:35.89] | Just medals and scars |
| [03:39.06] | So damn proud of me |
| [03:42.16] | And I brought home that flag |
| [03:45.24] | Now it gathers dust |
| [03:48.31] | But it’s a flag that I love |
| [03:51.20] | It’s the only flag I trust |
| [03:55.54] | |
